-  New Satellite Programming     Format; Same NPIN Coverage**    Parents and educators—get ready for a new monthly television series about     ways to ensure children's educational success: *Education News Parents Can     Use*. This new program takes the place of the Department of Education's     *Satellite Town Meeting* and will keep many of its predecessor's signature     features—the live format, viewer call-ins, and lively discussion. *Education     News* also focuses on information and resources of value to parents and     families, featuring brief segments, including one-on-one interviews; "how-to"     demonstrations; more video and graphics; and brief conversations with parents,     educators, education experts, and community, business, and religious leaders.     Education News      airs live on the third Tuesday of each month during the school year, but taped     re-broadcasts will also be available. Find the tentative schedule, learn more     about your local viewing options, and sign up at http://registerevent.ed.gov/.    NPIN will continue to provide parents with useful resources on the topics     covered in*Education News* broadcasts.
